When you install "for all users".

Hmm. You don't remember the exact message, do you?
I guess it was a popup saying "[TARGETDIR] exists. Are you sure you want
to overwrite existing files?", and that it was not
a red text saying "This update will replace your existing [ProductLine]
installation."

Please confirm.

If so, you now have two Python installations in the same location; one
for all users, and the older one just for you (or vice versa).

I recommend to uninstall them both, and start over.
